10 Fatal Mistakes That Destroyed The TNA Brand
4. Voodoo Kin Mafia
TNA were often accused of pandering to WWE in sorry displays that routinely made them look like second-rate imposters to Vince McMahon's product, but their output never quite reeked of as much desperation as when Road Dogg and Billy Gunn (now BG and Kip James) responded to the 2006 D-Generation-X comeback by challenging Shawn Michaels, Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Vince McMahon himself to a real fight.
Like a eunuch in a d*ck-swinging contest, TNA tried to goad WWE and the two chief degenerates into a response in a variety of outlandish ways, but neither the performers nor the company showed any interest in the angle. BG and Kip visited Titan Towers in a sorry rehash of the famed WCW invasion, and even offered 'Paul Levesque' and 'Michael Hickenbottom' a million dollars to show up in the Impact Zone.
It didn't just fall on deaf ears, it fell on no ears at all. After weeks of the challenges going unanswered, the duo parked the angle completely around the time Triple H was shelved with a second quadricep injury. For all their bluster at the time, both Dogg and Gunn would return to WWE in their original 'New Age Outlaw' incarnation a little over five years later.
